MOSCOW, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) -- Europe's security architecture was at the heart of the Russia-U.S.-Ukraine trilateral talks in Abu Dhabi, Russian Presidential Aide Vladimir Medinsky said after the talks on Wednesday.
Medinsky, head of the Russian delegation, said Russia had repeatedly raised the issue of building a European security architecture and that establishing a European security framework after the end of the crisis in Ukraine must be addressed.
It has demonstrated that "the entire European security order established after Yalta and Potsdam functions extremely poorly. In essence, the whole system is afflicted, and Ukraine is merely where the abscess burst open," Medinsky said during a press conference.
He added that the dialogue would "undoubtedly continue," as the delegations had found common ground on some points but failed to reach agreement on others.
During the talks, an agreement in principle was reached on a large-scale prisoner exchange, the specific terms of which would be announced in the near future, Medinsky said. ■
